NEWS: Apple's App Store Passes 1.5 Billion Downloads
John Navas
Apple's App Store has eclipsed its rivals in terms of volume; its
users have downloaded more than 1.5 billion applications in about a
year.
The over-the-air program store has been a hit with consumers, and
this has made the platform attractive to mobile developers. Apple
said the store now has more than 65,000 apps, and more than 10,000
content creators are in its iPhone Developer Program. The store is
filled with programs that range from fake beer pouring apps to
enterprise-grade programs from Oracle and Salesforce.
With more than 1,000 new hooks into the hardware, the latest firmware
potentially opens the door for a new wave of, innovative apps.
Additionally, the 3.0 software creates new business models for
developers because it enables in-app purchasing, and app-specific
hardware accessories.
